Marine style in clothes and accessories

The marine theme is diverse and, one might say, never goes out of fashion. There are only three colors: white, blue and red - such a strict color rhythm and at the same time a simple cut! What is the mystery of the attractiveness of the nautical style?

Recently very relevant striped print, and therefore marine style is again on the horizon of the new season. The mystery of the popularity of the marine style from year to year is that the color combination of white, blue and red is suitable for almost every woman, with any skin and hair color, of any age, because "the sea soul ... is always young!"

To be more precise, the color scheme includes additionally black, gold (golden anchors, nautical emblems), the harsh color of the canvas (sails) ... In the color scheme, one can take some liberty, given that the sea and sky can have different shades in different Times of Day. Turquoise tones combined with white and delicate pink will create a softer and more relaxed look.

Marine theme - flawless lines hulls of sea vessels, white color, visible from afar, simple durable materials. Speaking of fabrics, fabrics - dense cotton with a pronounced weave, linen, gabardine - one of the most respected materials among the military and sailors, “faded” denim, where torn jeans are a very suitable option in combination with a vest.

In the nautical style, there is no place for floral patterns and ornaments. Embroidery is possible, emblems and anchors embroidered with gold threads will look original. Shoes for this style should be lightweight and comfortable.

Some stylists believe that there should be a complete lack of a heel, but shoes with heels, correctly selected in color for a given image, will fit well. Shoes made of suede, leather and textiles, these shoes can be sneakers, slip-ons, sandals and even ballet flats, with outerwear - jackboots, men's style boots ...

A boater hat looks especially good as a headwear, not to mention the captain's cap... You can use small kerchiefs, which are nice to just tie around your neck.

Clothing should create freedom of movement, silhouettes should be moderately tight. Suits and individual items of clothing in a nautical style are, first of all, fitted jackets, extended trousers, loose shorts, flared skirts above the knees, midi-skirts, shirt dresses, sundress dresses, tunic dresses, T-shirts, vests, jumpers and many other products, as already mentioned, of the simplest cut.

As outerwear, you will need a naval pea coat or an overcoat of a naval officer, always with the glitter of copper or gold buttons, because the nautical style is still a military style.

Simple cut, strict rhythm of three colors draw attention to every detail of clothing... Pay attention to ships, yachts, boats. The free element of the sea requires that there be complete order on board and nothing superfluous, only simple and useful items. Therefore, in our nautical style, too, it must be subject to strict order.

To emphasize the nautical style in its most classic version, find beauty in simple elements - choose cords, edging, oblique inlays, ribbons, braided belts (remember macrame), knots, including a nautical knot, all sorts of ties, large shiny buttons, metal fittings for copper, bronze and gold.

As you can see fantasy here, as "the sea does not end." It all depends on whether you accept the orthodox "naval" style or take liberties.

Speaking of liberties - if you like the game of sea pirates, then this is a completely different topic.... Mix and dilute colors and decor elements, focusing on "White masts in the roadstead, in the haze of the sea city, the light of the lighthouse above the wave, oblivion of the southern nights, the bluest Black Sea in the world is mine!"

All nautical-style finishes work, because they have a specific function in garments. All these clasps, edging, shine of copper buttons, gold anchors - everything reminds of the navy.

But what about jewelry? And here, as in the buttons, it has its own interesting theme. Perhaps you need shells, mother of pearl, sea stones ... What is the best use if you decide to obey the naval requirements?

Then it is good to use cords in jewelry, again buttons, knots, braid, weaving, that is, for the most part, obeying the laws of the sea, you should be able to turn individual parts that perform a specific function into decoration.

Here, buckles, nautical emblems, eyelets, ribbons that will help you look like a midshipman or a legendary midshipman can be an impeccable element of nautical style, or maybe you just want to create a resort mood without leaving the city. Decide for yourself, because a lot of fantasies in the marine theme have accumulated over the centuries.
